Michael Moore Attempts A Citizen's Arrest On AIG Executives (HD Trailer From 'Capitalism: A Love Story')
- Michael Moore's new film explores the root causes of the global economic meltdown and takes a comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans that culminated in what has been described as the biggest robbery in the history of this country, the massive transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to private financial institutions (1:15).
From Michael Moore:
- "It's a crime story. But it's also a war story about class warfare. And a vampire movie, with the upper 1 percent feeding off the rest of us. And, of course, it's also a love story. Only it's about an abusive relationship.
- "It's not about an individual, like Roger Smith, or a corporation, or even an issue, like health care. This is the big enchilada. This is about the thing that dominates all our lives — the economy. I made this movie as if it was going to be the last movie I was allowed to make.

Sorry for the off topic post but I know you are great at what you do and you are a great stock researcher. i ran into an alternative energy company that i'm doing my DD on that maybe worth looking at. They use ocean waves to generate power and they use bottom of the ocean to collect heat. Ticker is OPTT, very small float, compnay is worth only $50 million, not too much debt, but little revenues. i'm trying to study the patents and their contracts with DOD. Let me know if you have any time to research this gem. Thanks
"DD" = doctoral dissertation?
I can think of a couple of ratings agencies or three that need to learn a thing or two about "DD." ;-)

Rochdale Securities analyst Bove says 150-200 more US bank failures possible in current crisis
On Monday August 24, 2009, 1:27 pm EDT
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Banking equities analyst Richard Bove said Sunday that it's possible 150 to 200 more U.S. banks could fail in the current banking crisis, putting greater stress on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s deposit insurance fund.
The FDIC, which insures deposits, may be forced to turn to non-U.S. banks and private equity funds to help shore up the banking system, the Rochdale Securities analyst wrote in a note to investors.
Among the 81 banks closed so far this year -- compared with 25 last year and three in all of 2007 -- were a stream of smaller institutions, many ruined by losses on ordinary loans amid the souring economy, tumbling home prices and spiking unemployment.
The FDIC expects bank failures will cost the insurance deposit fund around $70 billion through 2013. The fund stood at $13 billion -- its lowest level since 1993 -- at the end of March. It has slipped to 0.27 percent of total insured deposits, below the minimum of 1.15 percent mandated by Congress.
Banks' payments to keep the FDIC afloat could eat up 25 percent of their pretax income in 2010, according to Bove.
The FDIC last week seized Colonial Bank, a big lender in real estate development, and sold its $20 billion in deposits, 346 branches in five states and about $22 billion of its assets to BB&T Corp.
It was the biggest bank failure so far this year, and the sixth-largest in U.S. history, expected to cost the insurance fund $2.8 billion.
On Friday, regulators shut down Guaranty Bank, a big Texas-based lender afflicted by loan losses. It was the second-largest U.S. bank failure this year.
The costliest failure was the July 2008 seizure of big California lender IndyMac Bank, on which the fund is estimated to have lost $10.7 billion.
p.s. you Rockefellers have done a masterful job you dang sobs

I see his work as an effort to make people think for themselves by presenting "conventional" views in an unflattering light. He uses entertainment to make people think about things that we're uncomfortable thinking about and for that I give him very high marks. I don't think he is trying to preach solutions, he's saying, "hey look at this.....does this seem right to you?"
I don't demand that people agree with me, but solutions only come when people take the time to analyze situations for themselves rather than grab someone's "talking points memo".
Moore's not trying to be a Messiah, he's a film maker trying to engage the audience in the world they live in. I think that's more noble than showing some alternative universe where good triumphs over evil, while you eat popcorn.
Enjoyed that.
@Sell Short
I'll take a look at it.
@Jimmie
Nice comment. I agree with you about Moore. I have found all of his films entertaining and provoking, but he tends to play fast and loose with the facts...sometimes it bothers me, other times not.
With Capitalism: A Love Story, it's the first time I won't mind if he lays it on thick. Really looking forward to seeing it.
Years ago, I thought Andy Kaufman was a complete screwball, but now I think he taught me as much about myself and human nature as anyone. There's some kind of common thread between the two. Sorry I can't explain it better.
I thought I'd mention this here and openly. I just got it DB. I know how hard you work at this..... and then I realized from someone's comment that thanked you for putting an entire video words in writing so that they could get through it so much faster. I thought WOW, I wish I could read that fast.
So I thought a bit more and I see how much you have to read and view and mull over. My Goodness DB. I mean this so sincerely. YOU WORK YOUR ASS OFF BROTHA!!! WHEW.............. This post alone is testimony to just what I mean. You have the most posts. There is no way I could read all this, ingest it, take time to consider if I should post it on my blog etc etc etc.
I personally will take that into consideration when I so casually post or connect with you in anyway. I wish I could be of help but someone like myself who only can take a step back in admiration of your hard word and ability to do so.... I would only be in your way.
But I'm on your side and want to say thank you so much for doing what you do for people like me who have to watch the video to really get it all. That said. WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU IN HIGH SHCOOL MAN! just kidding. LOL!
Kidding aside, the video of Michael Moore posted above ( and you probly already know this) has been removed from You-Tube and it cannot be viewed here. Just in case I'm speaking of the correct one here, it is the Second of the two you posted as trailers for his movie/doc. After Inside Job I should really take time to watch this one as well.
Have a great one DB.
And again a very sincere thank you. I truly hope other like myself anyway do appreciate those who are here that really have that extra something. Until NZT becomes real. You know? LOL!
Liberals are very much like my manipulative ex-boyfriend. They call us names, ridicule us, poke us, prod us, instigate. There’s no purpose to their insults other than to try to elevate themselves and lower all of us—and to try to win approval from the unknowing public.
